Step-by-step explanation:

you'll substitute x for -2

g(-2) = -4 *(-2) - 17 = 8 - 17 = -9

hope i helped :)

How many solutions does the system have? y = -2x-4 \\\\ y = 3x+3

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The system has one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two equations:

y = -2x - 4

y = 3x + 3

Equalling them:

y = y

-2x - 4 = 3x + 3

5x = -7

$x = -\frac{7}{5}$

And

$y = 3x + 3 = 3(-\frac{7}{5}) + 3 = \frac{-21}{5} + 3 = \frac{-21}{5} + \frac{15}{5} = -\frac{6}{5}$

Replacing in the other equation we should get the same result.

$y = -2x - 4 = -2(-\frac{7}{5}) - 4 = \frac{14}[5} - 4 = \frac{14}{4} - \frac{20}{5} = -\frac{6}{5}$

So the system has one solution.

Answer:

Option B) $a_{n} = 2\cdot 4^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given geometric sequence is

2, 8, 32, 128,....

The general form of a geometric sequence is given by

$a_{n} = a_{1}\cdot r^{n-1}$

Where n is the nth term that we want to find out.

a₁ is the first term in the geometric sequence that is 2

r is the common ratio and can found by simply dividing any two consecutive numbers in the sequence,

$r=\frac{8}{2} = 4$

You can try other consecutive numbers too, you will get the same common ratio

$r=\frac{32}{8} = 4$

$r=\frac{128}{32} = 4$

So the common ratio is 4 in this case.

Substitute the value of a₁ and r into the above general equation

$a_{n} = 2\cdot 4^{n-1}$

This is the general form of the given geometric sequence.

Therefore, the correct option is B

Note: Don't multiply the first term and common ratio otherwise you wont get correct results.

Verification:

$a_{n} = 2\cdot 4^{n-1}$

Lets find out the 2nd term

Substitute n = 2

$a_{2} = 2\cdot 4^{2-1} = 2\cdot 4^{1} = 2\cdot 4 = 8$

Lets find out the 3rd term

Substitute n = 3

$a_{3} = 2\cdot 4^{3-1} = 2\cdot 4^{2} = 2\cdot 16 = 32$

Lets find out the 4th term

Substitute n = 4

$a_{4} = 2\cdot 4^{4-1} = 2\cdot 4^{3} = 2\cdot 64 = 128$

Lets find out the 5th term

Substitute n = 5

$a_{5} = 2\cdot 4^{5-1} = 2\cdot 4^{4} = 2\cdot 256 = 512$

Hence, we are getting correct results!

Pls help will give brainliest and 5star plss

guajiro [1.7K]

For 3. It is the fourth choice. This is because angle DGF is vertical angle and thus equal to angle EGB. Then angle BGF is supplementary to this angle.
So your answer is EGB+BGF=180

For 4. It is the first choice of 62 ft. It is the midpoint so is half the total line segment.

timurjin [86]

Do you have a picture? Normally this kind of problem features a graph with other points included. -1,6? -6,1? -11,6? -6,11?
